    I'm gonna get this figure, but it's a bummer it will be one for the Legends+ display (which is still very sparse and minor, compared to my main Legends collection). DX-9 Arcee won't go anywhere for quite some time, apparently.

    She'll fit nice with Mechanic Toys Springer (v2 version, MS-29 Falcon) for those pictures of them in a loving pose :oops: .

    I ordered the pink one from BBTS and the black one from ShowZ. Figured it made sense because half of my legends stuff is MFT +scale anyway.

    Nice. Though with Elita-1 becoming a more prominent character I'd like to start seeing more unique molds for her and less retools. Curious how much they’ll modify the vehicle mode from Arcee’s.

    Yeah I'd rather have an original mold over a lazy arcee remold.

    We all would but it's just to easy to just recolor Arcee with hopefully a new head sculpt.

    The Autobot fembots in the cartoon all had the same core female body with different accessoires on them. If i recall correctly, Netflix's The Toys That Made Us, Barby and the She-Ra female figures all had the same core bodies with different accessoires. So using one body, in this case Arcee, isn't that weird. The problem arises with their alt modes which can't be pulled from their bodies without giving them a big backpack which in the cartoon they didn't have. Arcee is the only fembot in the cartoon that had two little backpacks, which for a toy is still to small.

    I'm not against a detachable backpack which would make the transformation possible. Shell formers is in my opinion the only way they can pull of the alt modes of the Autobot fembots.

    But my preference would be, for the G1 Autobot fembots, a non transforming legend scale that goes well with Newage or MST Optimus Prime articulated figure.

    Not saying that they shouldn't make like a Chromia that turns into a bike, like in the IDW comics, or a Swift (the Decepticons need some female representation too)

    but for me on my list of female Transformers the G1 ones are on top of my list (Elita One, Chromia, Firestar, Greenlight, Lancer, Moonracer, Beta and Nightbird).

    am i the only one here not feeling wu's arcee? to me it just looks a little too off in many ways.

    i feel like MS or NA will make a much better interpretation of this fig. but that is whenever they get around to her/him.

    Good call there remembering Beta

    Heck, why not throw in Alana

    Her alt mode is a bit out there, I admit

    Oh look, the animators were playing that game where they sneak in upping a female character several cups sizes for one shot (I'm sure they did this on G. I Joe RAH)

    is that face going to be used for the MP Arcee Face as well?

    Also is the MP Arcee face gong to be packaged with all copies of Amie or only as a limited run?

    I haven't been following all the news regarding this, but I'd definitely interested

    There will be a white repaint of Arcee inspired by Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe.

    Found on showz.

    This almost feels like Newage with a G1 Arcee, Combiner Wars Arcee, Nightbird, Aleta One and now this white ninja female. Where is my Lifeline/Paradron Medic?

    My understanding is that this one heavily influenced the thrilling 30 design. It might’ve actually been the same designer.

    Apologies if this has made the rounds- but is this the first video of Amie?

    No, not enough lights. Looks like some Super7 style, non-transforming figure.

    As I'd said before--too tall for what I collect. But a repaint/retool as Elita-1 at this height? I'd be all over that. This does look good as a figure, so it would be nice to get at least one of them.

    Bombusbee is showing this as incoming soon.

    With new age’s reveal imminent, I think I’ll pass on this one but I might consider an Elita.
